Canine adenovirus (PCB013)

Canine adenovirus (PCS013) Canine adenovirus type 1 and type 2 Specimen type EDTA whole blood, Nasal swab, Nasopharyngeal swab、conjunctival swab Contents Dogs infected with adenovirus may only show a decreased appetite, appear depressed, and have a mild fever. Some dogs develop opacity of one or both corneas of their eyes. Dogs may have respiratory signs, such as eye and nasal discharge and a cough.

Canine parvovirus (PCB012)

Canine parvovirus. (PCB012) Canine parvovirus Specimen type EDTA whole blood, Feces Contents Canine parvovirus (CPV) is the most dangerous and contagious virus that affects unprotected dogs. It causes acute gastrointestinal illness in puppies, typically between six and 20 weeks old. However, older dogs can also be affected. A dog infected with canine parvovirus will start to show symptoms within three to seven days of infection. The most common clinical signs associated with CPV include lethargy, depression, loss or lack of appetite, fever, vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), and dehydration. Parvovirus infection is often suspected based on the dog’s history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Fecal testing can confirm the diagnosis. Currently, the most accurate method of testing for the presence of CPV is PCR testing.

Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) (PCB011)

Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) (PCB011) Lyme dease (Borrelia burgdorferi) Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Lyme disease is an illness caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted through certain ticks. Both animals, such as dogs, cats, and horses, and humans can become infected with this bacteria. Dogs infected with Lyme disease may show symptoms of lameness, swollen lymph nodes, joint swelling, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

Toxoplasma gondii (PCB010)

Toxoplasma gondii (PCB010) Toxoplasma gondii Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Toxoplasmosis usually causes no signs in healthy dogs. However, in puppies, the parasites may spread throughout the body. Signs of infection include fever, diarrhea, cough, difficulty breathing, jaundice, seizures, and death.

Leptospira spp. (PCB009)

Leptospira spp. (PCB009) Leptospira spp. Specimen type EDTA whole blood, Urine Contents Dogs affected by leptospirosis might show clinical signs that include lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain, and polyuria, oliguria, or anuria. Acute kidney injury has been the most common presentation in recent years.

Dirofilaria immitis (PCB008)

Dirofilaria immitis (PCB008) Dirofilaria immitis Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Dirofilaria immitis, commonly known as heartworm, is a parasitic roundworm, characterized by its small, thread-like appearance. Heartworm causes the disease dirofilariasis and is transmitted through mosquito bites. Common signs of heartworm infection include coughing, exercise intolerance, failure to grow, labored breathing, a blue or purplish discoloration of the skin and gums, spitting up blood, fainting, nose bleeding, and the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Leishmania spp. (PCB007)

Leishmania spp. (PCB007) Leishmania spp. Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Leishmaniosis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania and transmitted through the bites of female phlebotomine sand flies. Clinical signs range from localized cutaneous lesions to lymphadenopathy and renal failure for visceral disease.

Mycoplasma haemocanis (PCB006)

Mycoplasma haemocanis (PCB006) Mycoplasma haemocanis. Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Mycoplasma haemocanis (formerly Haemobartonella canis) rarely causes anemia in dogs with normal spleens and normal immune systems.

Analasma/Ehrlichia spp. (PCB005)

Analasma/Ehrlichia spp. (PCB005) Analasma/Ehrlichia spp. Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Common clinical signs of ehrlichiosis include pale mucous membranes, due to anemia, epistaxis, petechiae, ecchymoses, prolonged bleeding during estrus, hematuria or melena associated with thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopathy, or vasculitis.

Babesia Panel (PCS005)

Babesia Panel (PCS005) Babesia canis Babesia gibsoni Babesia spp. Specimen type EDTA whole blood Contents Babesiosis is a widespread disease that impacts both domestic and wild animals, along with humans. It is caused by Babesia parasites, which are protozoan piroplasms. In dogs, these parasites invade and destroy red blood cells. Among dogs, prevalent Babesia species include the large forms like B. canis, B. vogeli, and B. rossi, as well as the samll forms, more aggressive ones like B. gibsoni, which pose challenges in treatment. Despite treatment efforts and apparent recovery, dogs may experience recurrent bouts of the disease. Accurate molecular detection and identification of the specific Babesia species are essential for selecting the correct treatment and predicting disease progression in affected dogs.
